We have dined at Platzz countless times now - breakfast, lunch, dinner, late afternoon drinks and snacks. We have NEVER had a bad meal or bad service. The staff are exceptional - friendly, attentive and a real asset to the restaurant. We recently gave their Date Night a try and cannot recommend it enough! 3 generous courses for 2 people, a bottle of wine and a truly exceptional evening for the price of R450. DELICIOUS pizzas and some of the best burgers we've had the pleasure of tasting! Also, the best jalapeno poppers in KZN in my mind!

Nice Upper Highway Gem, food was good, TK our server was awesome, great pub grub cuisine without it being over crowded with underage patrons - if you catch my drift. Really yummy cocktails too. I really am so very fond of this restaurant and highly encourage people to visit and support.

Atmosphere was fairly good but the service was disgusting, it seems that certain senior staff make promises to clients but forget that promises were made. I had to ask 3 times for my beer and was referred to other staff. The food I ordered also took so long, as if I was forgotten about. It is a pity because the pub is in a favourable area. I suppose if other clients are happy to accept poor service, so be it

Needs more staff. New managers need to introduce themselves. Great place for excellent live music on weekends, especially on Saturday afternoons 1pm to 4pm. Thanks to Flat Dog Entertainment.

It was fairly quiet when I went but to be fair it was a Thursday evening. I really enjoyed the live music and the food was superb - staff are also helpful, friendly and welcoming.
